Before You Begin: FAQs
How long does therapy typically take?
It varies by person and concern. Some clients see meaningful progress in 8-12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in on your goals and progress so you're always in control of your journey.
Do you accept insurance?
We operate on a self-pay model, which means no insurance hassles, no claims to file, and no surprise bills. Many clients prefer this for privacy (sessions don't go on your medical record) and simplicity. We offer transparent, competitive rates with flexible payment options.
Is therapy really confidential?
Absolutely. Your sessions are protected by law and strict ethical guidelines. We use HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platforms for all communications. The only exceptions are mandated reporting situations (risk of harm to self or others, abuse of minors/elderly/disabled persons).
How much does therapy cost?
Session rates vary by therapist and service type. We offer straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for current ratesΓÇöwe're happy to discuss payment options and ensure you can access the care you need.
What happens in the first session?
Your first session is about getting to know you. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve. There's no pressureΓÇöit's a conversation, not an interrogation. You'll also have time to ask questions and see if we're the right fit.
